Whatever happened to the phrase "its alright"

So ive been gaming since i was a young lad, and i have been going on these forums and reading about games for many many years. i check the forums just about no matter what a review says, good or bad, just to see what people are saying. Whether that is an xbox live arcade game, or a full fledged sixty dollar game. As the years pass i am finding it harder and harder to get real answers out of people about games on these forums.

point is, i looked at the forums for crackdown 2, singularity, metro 2033, worms armaggeddon(however you effin spell it) amongst some other games here and there. i have played and beaten them all, blah blah blah.
BUT. this isnt about how sweet i am at beating games or whatever, its more just like this-

whatever happened to the phrase "its alright" or "it was decent" "good" "Ok" or "if you like that kind of game". It seems to be the latest trend to go around and either compare these games to great AAA titles when even the devs themselves arent claiming that. in some cases i get it, like... oh what was that game... oh yeah, "too human". that game deserved this kind of banter, because they were toting it as one of the baddest ass games around and all this, so i could see how people would get into it over that.

in closing, i just want to remind you people how things work in human interaction. if everything is amazing nothing sucks. if everything sucks nothing is amazing, and if everything either sucks or is amazing, you are going to live a sad life with alot of broken game discs(and broken dreams in life, lol). so remember, some games are "OK" or "cool if your into that". it doesnt all have to be God of War or Call of Duty or Goldeneye or Super mario bros 3 or whatever. sometimes you get a "wolverine" you know? and thats OK too...

blah. im sure no one will actually read all this. but whatevs. ITS ALRIGHT.

haha. blah. im not a blogger. shoot i dont even know whats up with that on this site. i dont even think i have signed in since like 2 years ago or something. oh no i take it back i posted something a bit ago. still though, its been awhile. but yeah, sorry for taking up so much space like a jerk.

Then what is the point of this thread if you don't/haven't even used the site in 2 years...? What difference does it make to you how people describe games? Especially when you DON'T even use the site...?

(Sigh) Another one bites the dust.

people dont want to admit a game is just alright,

they want to say any game they buy is amazing, because they want to justify spending all the money on it

and they want to hate on any game they didnt buy, because again they want to justify spending the money on the game they did buy

its stupid and childish if you ask me, but unfortunately its the way it is these days, money is tight for most people and they are desperate to justify their spending one way or another

When i said i had not used the site in 2 years, i guess i meant more on the side of writing or posting. i read things all the time from this place, and i check the boards quite a bit in order to garner an accurate view of games from fans VS the reviews(usually both are quite biased).

SORRY guys. lol.

just sayin.
